This went to court in the late 80s with a very famous Bentley. The judge ruled that the car with continuous history is the "real" car, even thiough the other car (now replica) had more parts on it which was made by Bentley and fitted at Cricklewood.

There are countless stories like this: remember the Bugatti rescued from the lake after being there for 70+ years? Well, a collector had that very same car- chassis number and everything- sitting in their collection. Oops...

Isn't there a Le Mans raced D-Type that there has been a lot of contention about its provenance over the years?

Lowdrag is the man who knows the whole fin (geddit??). From memory, one D type was crashed and then destroyed at the factory- so it no longer exists in any form...

But a car with this chassis number is around. FIA papers, the lot.

There is also a story about a guy buying both claimed examples of the same D-Type and re-acquainting the original parts into one authentic car.

Chevrolet Camaro.

Still think these look great. However, hired one for summer in Toronto and it was dreadful.

Yup.I hired one in Florida. Great to look at but terrible as a car. Many bad design features too....

Hope he didn’t crash. Those long straight roads can be lethal.

Look at the (slightly bizarre) sign the Bentley is next to.

Just going through my phone and was looking at some photos of a concours event last year, thought I’d put together a group of unusual colour choices.

nice photos

I guess the Diablo 6.0 is an SE which only came in gold and poo brown

Notorious road that’s claimed a few motorcyclists sadly.

The brown Ferrari... just no

The blue Ferrari... hell yes

It's nice to see more adventurous colours on these cars than the usual boring resale red or monochrome.

That purple 365GTB/4 is very appealing to me.

Aston DB4 .. although I'm no expert
